REm                                      SIb6   REm
 They wanted me here just to show you my face
                                                  SIb6   REm
But when it comes to the crunch, I just hide in disgrace
                                              SIb6   REm
You were calling me mad but I know you're the same
                                           SIb6  LAm
'Cause you gotta be seen to be playing the game
                                    SOLm       REm
Yes, you gotta be seen to be playing the game

                               SOLm         DO    REm
It ain't gonna hurt now if you open up your eyes
                                 SOLm          DO   REm
You're making it worse now every time you criticize
                                SOLm          DO
I'm under your curse now, but I call it compromise
  LAm7                            SOL          
I thought that you were wise, but you were otherwise

REm                                    SIb6  REm
 A specimen like you I would love to obtain
                                           SIb6   REm
I asked a tedious guy if he'd tell me your name
                                         SIb6   REm
I'd love to impress you with a back somersault
                                                SIb6  LAm
I wanna take up your love, but it's locked in a vault
                                          SOL          REm 
I wanna take up your love, but it's locked in a vault

 When I open my mouth, I'm so brutally honest
      DO                                REm    SOLm
And I can't expect that kind of love from you
                   SIb7                              REm
When you open your mouth, your teeth are beautifully polished
      DO                                 REm
And I can't extract the pain you're going through
      LAm7              SOL
No, I can't explain the pain you're going through

You're making it worse now every time you criticize
                                SOLm          DO    REm
I'm under your curse now, but I call it compromise
                    SOLm    DO   REm
I'm under your curse, oh, oh
                               SOLm         DO    REm
It ain't gonna hurt now if you open up your eyes

You're making it worse now every time you criticize
                                SOLm          DO
I'm under your curse now, but I call it compromise

Otherwise: Video

Otherwise è un brano scritto e inciso dai Morcheeba, contenuto nell'album Charango pubblicato nel 2002. Quarto lavoro in studio per la band britannica, sarebbe stato l'ultimo per la cantante Skye Edwards fino alla reunion del 2010. La canzone è il primo singolo estratto dal disco e riesce a raggiungere la quinta posizione nella classifica americana. Una ballata dal tempo lento, molto sensuale grazie al timbro vocale della stressa Edwards... ottima per essere accompagnata con la chitarra.
